Situated on the Isle of Thanet in the scenic Thanet district of East Kent, England, Broadstairs is a delightful coastal town only 80 miles east of London. With a population of around 25,000, it’s renowned as the 'jewel in Thanet's crown' thanks to its picturesque charm.

Behind the enchanting name 'Broadstairs' lurks a fascinating history. The name originates from the stone steps leading up the chalk cliff to an 11th-century shrine of St Mary. The town’s rich heritage extends to its time as part of the distinguished Cinque Ports Confederation and boasts a cliff-top shrine, the Shrine of Our Lady.

Broadstairs' coastline boasts seven bountiful bays of golden sand, including the vibrant Viking Bay, the main beach town. The town spreads from charming Haine Road in the west to the northern allure of Kingsgate, and down to the southern beauty of Dumpton.

Its coat of arms carries the grand Latin motto "Stella Maris", meaning "Star of the Sea", reflecting the town's enduring connection to the sea. Enjoy the ever-present maritime atmosphere while basking in Broadstairs' mild climate.

When to visit Broadstairs

The charm of Broadstairs is best experienced during the balmy months of late July, August, and September, offering ideal weather conditions to optimise your holiday enjoyment. With comfortable high temperatures averaging to 72.9°F (22.7°C) and rarely dipping below 56°F (13.3°C), it's the perfect time for beachside revelry.

For those who enjoy slightly cooler, drier weather, consider planning a visit in April, March or June. Be aware that, like most UK seaside resorts, August sees tourism peak in Broadstairs, followed closely by July and June. Therefore, expect higher hotel and flight prices during this time.

Even though Broadstairs is a safe town to visit, travel advisories for the United Kingdom should be followed to ensure one's peace of mind while on holiday.
